Configuring Security using the CLI
Initial Login with an SNMPv3 User
To configure SNMPv3 with Device Manager, you must first log on and
create an SNMPv3 user through the CLI or Web interface. If you specify
only read and write community strings at the time you log on, you do not
have sufficient rights to view or change the SNMPv3 settings of the switch.
CAUTION
By default, the CLI and Web interface are not password protected.
Nortel strongly recommends that after you set up an SNMPv3
user, you change or delete all factory default settings that can
allow an unauthorized person to log on to your device.
For more information on how to configure an initial SNMPv3 user by using
Web-based management, see
"Setting SNMP parameters" (page 58)
, and
by using the CLI, see
"Configuring SNMPv3" (page 190)
.
To log on to the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series Device Manager as
an SNMPv3 user, use the following procedure:
Step
Action
1
On the Device Manager menu bar, select Device > Open.
2
In the Device Name field, enter the DNS name or the IP address of
the switch.
3
Select the v3 Enabled checkbox (the default Read and Write
community strings are grayed out when SNMPv3 is enabled).
4
Enter the log on name of the SNMPv3 user.
5
From the Authentication Protocol pull-down list, select MD5, SHA, or
None.
6
If the user is configured to use an authentication protocol, enter the
authentication password in the Authentication Password field.
7
If the user is configured to use a privacy protocol, choose the
appropriate protocol from the Privacy Protocol field (DES, AES or
3DES).
8
In the Privacy Password field, enter the privacy password.
